Hello!

[Chad Hutchison]

Ariel,

I am emailing you on behalf of me, Peter, Jim and Tom in regards to our visit to Istanbul that is coming up in 3 days! I hope you remember meeting us in Thailand at the cove party and giving me your email haha. We are really looking forward to Istanbul, and would love some advice on what we must see/do. 

We arrive very early on the 27th after 18 hours of travel, so we don't anticipate doing a whole lot that day but walking around Sultanhamet (where we are staying). we really want to try the 'Lokum' burger that day, so we would love a recommendation for that.

Our second day in Istanbul we want to do the whole Turkish bath experience. We are very dirty from our trek in Nepal, and will want to do a very extensive bath including a haircut, shave, bath, and possible pedicure (our feet are messed up after 90 miles of trekking)...let us know if you have a place in mind where we can do that. That night we want to try out a Turkish steak house like the one you guys described. We will be celebrating finishing our trek this day haha. 

Other than these, email any other recommends you may have, and when we get to Istanbul we will have to meet up at some point.

looking forward to hearing from you all!
